Cargo
- High-Risk Cargo
- General Freight
Note: "General Freight" is a catch-all; the actual cargo mix and its risk may differ.
Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.
MCS-150 annual mileage appears too low for fleet size given observed activity. The per-100k-mile rate benchmarks on this page are excluded; the FRED grade does not use mileage (crash exposure is power-unit-years, violation exposure is inspection counts).
This carrier is not authorized for interstate for-hire operations. They may still operate legally as an intrastate for-hire carrier.
Not enough record to grade yet.
18 inspections and no crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months fit anything from an Excellent fleet to a Poor one. It leans better than similar fleets (about a 60% chance), but not by enough to grade.
Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 10–19 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.
A record this thin can't pin that down: about a 1-in-7 chance it runs at Poor-level crash rates.
Worth a closer look
From the FMCSA record. The estimate already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are context only.
-
Drivers put out of service4 out-of-service violations against drivers: 2 no valid CDL, 2 hours of service (Apr 2025 – Dec 2025).Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
-
Driver out-of-service rate22.2% of driver inspections end out of service vs 6.7% nationally (4 of 18). Across all its inspections, out-of-service orders run 2.00× what's expected for where and how it's inspected.
- No reportable crashes in 24 months.
- No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
-
No active operating authorityThe motor carrier's interstate for-hire authority is revoked or inactive, so it isn't currently cleared to haul interstate for hire.
-
Substance violations: 1
-
Unreliable reported mileageThe motor carrier's self-reported annual mileage (MCS-150) looks implausible, so exposure- and mileage-based figures may be distorted.
-
Estimated mileageNo usable mileage was reported, so exposure was estimated from similar motor carriers. Mileage-based metrics here are approximate.
Track record
Inspected more often than interstate fleets of 10–19 trucks in Maine (about 10 in 24 months would be typical).

Yearly rates from the last 24 months. Peers: interstate fleets, 10–19 power units, medium-risk cargo.

How the estimate is calculated
The model, its inputs, the window it scored and its confidence. For actuaries and anyone checking the work.
Forward 12-Month Risk Outlook
The FRED Score predicts this motor carrier's crash risk over the next 12 months — how often they're likely to crash and how severe those crashes tend to be — versus a typical fleet of its size (10 power units: 10 filed, 6 seen roadside in 24 months).
We'd expect a typical fleet of 10 power units this active to have about 0.4 crashes a year. This motor carrier recorded 0 in its scoring window (Sep 1, 2023 → Aug 31, 2026, about 0.0 a year) — fewer than a typical fleet. Factoring in its inspection and violation record inside that window and the credibility of its own experience, the model projects about 0.4 over the next 12.
- Out-of-service inspection Sep 27, 2024 · ME · level 2 · 1 vehicle OOS · 4 violations
FRED multiplies three factors: the class rate a fleet of this size, class and activity is expected to run, a violation relativity from its roadside record, and its own crash experience over 36 months weighted by how much exposure stands behind it. The grade is the band of the resulting relativity to class, then the screens.

SMS record data is sourced from FMCSA's Safety Measurement System (01-APR-25 – 30-JUN-25) and may cover a different time window than the scoring window used for the FRED grade (Sep 1, 2023 → Sep 30, 2026). Counts here may differ from the grade's in-window counts.
